What happened to Bob's Big Boy on Wilshire?

Is it gone for good? I took my mom here for nostalgic purposes and now it's crumbled to the ground but the sign is still up...whats the deal!?

    Deidre- I was wondering the same thing! I took my sister there
    (Wilshire Location) not long ago for nostalgic purposes also and was surprised to see the crumbled Bob's Big Boy to the ground. We had to have our Double-Decker Hamburger fix with RELISH! Mmmmm. So we went to the Torrance location. It was great! But for a really nice nostalgia experience with Mom, take her to the Burbank location for the car-hop... It's fun! And also one of the oldest Bob's. It's been there over 50 years.

      Thank you so much Pineapple! That will be great after a day at the LAMCA viewing the Vanity Fair Photos exhibit! :) Burbank is closer to me also!

        WOW!! I need to buy a newpaper once in a while and chill on cnn.com haha...

        That is truly sad. Promoting more cars on this already congested city and bullsh*t is what LA doesn't need. I could go on and on about this but my stance is obviously not with building a car dealership. Ew...I will have to go to Las Vegas and visit on of those on the way!!! I love Los Angeles but their priorities and views are very cloudy.

        Thank you Carter.
